User maintenance |
HP LaserJet IIISi, 4Si, 4Si MX Printers |
This message appears after 200,000 pages
have been run through the printer. It is a User Maintenance message indicating that
certain parts should be replaced in the printer (or maintenance should be performed).
These parts are purchased via the Printer Maintenance Kit (part number C2062A) and can be
obtained by contacting either an HP Authorized Dealer or the Support Materials
Organization
The parts included in this kit are as follows:
Fusing Assembly
Transfer Roller and Transfer Roller Clip
Pick-Up and Separation Rollers
Duplex Pick-Up Roller (If installed)
These are User Replaceable parts. The directions for completing this maintenance come with
the Printer Maintenance Kit and can also be found in the User's Manual (HP LaserJet IIISi
printer) or Operator's Guide (HP LaserJet 4Si printer).
This message will appear again after every 200,000 copies and user maintenance is
recommended at this point.
The message will be displayed on the control panel until it is cleared. The message is
cleared by changing Service Msg=Off in the Config menu of the printer on the HP LaserJet
IIISi printer or changing User Maintenance=Off in the Config menu on the HP LaserJet 4Si
printer. Clearing the message will reset the internal maintenance page counter (not the
same as page count listed on self-test) to zero. |

13 Paper Jam |
HP LaserJet IID, IIID Printers |
Paper jams can occur in these printers
when using the "automatic manual feed" as opposed to explicitly putting the
printer in manual feed mode. The use of "automatic manual feed" is not a
supported feature, nor is it a suggested procedure. This procedure is known to cause
problems, particularly when using the lower cassette as the manual feed slot because it is
more difficult to align the paper properly when it is pulled in from the lower input slot.
Paper is the only print media that should be fed from the lower input slot and other types
of media may not only cause jamming, but also permanent printer damage. |

jam warning. Remove jammed paper. While clearing paper jams the top cover or rear cover
must be opened and closed again before pressing Continue or online to resume. Check that
the rear cover is closed; an open rear cover may cause a paper jam. If no paper jam is
found, check locations shown in the user's manual. |

many different fonts or characters in a document or too many cursor position addresses per

Complex data (rules, graphics, dense text)
have caused the printer's page formatting process to "fall behind" the printing
process. For the 4 family this problem is also caused by printing too many typefaces at
600 dpi, or by printing a PostScript job at 600 dpi using only the printers base memory.
Workarounds:
1. Reduce the document's complexity by using fewer fonts and removing bolding, shading, or
underlining.
2. Reduce the document's graphics resolution.
3. Select the printer's Page Protect option (Letter, A4, Legal).

causing the printer's buffer to overflow. Press Continue to clear the error message.
Verify that the proper printer cable is being used and that both ends of the cable are
tightly connected. If the error appears on the printer at bootup, check to see if the
printers serial cable is plugged into the computer's parallel port. If running parallel,
the cause could be a bad cable or printer interface. If the error appears only after data
is sent, there may be incompatible handshaking protocol; for example, XON/XOFF, or DTR. By
default, the printer lowers the DTR polarity and sends XOFF (DC3) to suspend the flow of
data. DTR is raised and XON (DC1) sent to resume the flow. |

Parallel Communication
1. Defective parallel cable or cable that is over the supported 10 foot length.
2. Verify the cable connections are secure at both ends. Disconnect and reconnect even if
they look secure.3. Set High Speed to No and Advanced
Functions to "OFF" in the Parallel Menu on the front panel of the printer.
4. If using Novell network v. 3.11 and a version of PServer before

in the Print Server Information section of the Novell PConsole utility to No.
Serial Communication:
1. Serial cable plugged into the parallel port on the PC (error 22 message will appear

incompatible baud rate, parity, data bits, or stop bits settings. In addition, this error
can occur on the HP LaserJet III or IIID Printer if the I/O is configured to serial and
serial is set to RS-422 before a cable is attached to the serial I/O on the printer and/or

HP LaserJet 4, 4M, 4SI, 4Si MX, 4P, 4MP
printers |
A "clearable warning" appears
when the printer receives a print command that requires an option to be installed (such as
additional memory or a PostScript SIMM). Depending on the situation, the printer will
automatically reduce resolution, lower the level of page protection, compress the data, or
abort the print job.
The printer first attempts to satisfy the print request by reducing resolution, then by
lowering the level of page protection, then by compressing the data if possible. If it
receives a job for an uninstalled personality (such as PostScript) or requires more memory
than is available, the job is aborted. Clear message by pressing SHIFT and Continue on the
printer. |

The printer did not have enough memory
when switched on to support the previous settings for I/O buffering and/or Resource
Saving, probably because a memory SIMM was removed or a new personality SIMM was added

available. If these options are desired, print a Self-Test page. Check the configuration
